Discipline 01 / Righteous Recon
Triathlon.
Equipment for the three sports and the awkward transitions between them. Fit, reliability and race-day practicality come before marginal gains.
The first product verdicts are still being researched. No buying recommendations are published in this discipline yet.
The research starts here
Start with the
right questions.
Questions guiding the investigation. Product conclusions are still in preparation.
Which part of the race are you buying for?
Name the swim, bike, run or transition task first. That gives the research a specific job to evaluate before comparing features.
What needs to fit?
Fit belongs in the brief from the beginning. We ask what needs to work for the person and their intended use, and which questions a specification sheet leaves unanswered.
What has to stay simple on race day?
Reliability and race-day practicality lead this investigation. We ask which tradeoffs are acceptable before giving weight to a promised marginal gain.
